What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

I drove toward borders guarded by men with guns, secret police, and orders to stop the Gospel—but hidden in my little car were Bibles destined for believers who were starving for the Word of God. Again and again, I watched Jesus open doors no government could keep shut.

In BROTHER ANDREW: Into the Forbidden Nations, Dr. Michael H. Yeager brings you into the breathtaking life and ...

He set out to destroy the church. Then a single encounter on a dusty road changed everything.

Life and Legacy of Apostle Paul follows this extraordinary transformation from beginning to end — through three missionary journeys, imprisonment...

Just like we do today, the writers and chief actors of the Old Testament felt a deep longing for the presence of God. It is symbolized in the temple ruins, and before it the temple itself, and before that the ark of the covenant and the tabernacle that housed it, and before that the Garden of Eden. In response to this longing, God shares his ultimate mission, in which his people play a part: the expansion of Eden, the temple of God's presence, to all peoples throughout the earth.

He and his wife endured storms that trapped their ship for weeks, then faced summers of swarming mosquitoes and winters plunging to forty-below as he mastered Cree, Ojibbeway and Eskimo in order to preach and translate Scripture in the language of the people. Over forty-two years he rode dog-sled hundreds of miles, built churches, print-shops and schools with his own hands on that frozen frontier. Through famine, flood,...
